Making Process

Natural soy wax is part of a new generation of unrefined ecological waxes made from natural and especially renewable plant materials.
It does not contain GMOs, pesticides or herbicides, is completely biodegradable and does not emit toxic fumes.
Soy wax has a special quality: its low melting temperature allows a prolonged duration of combustion and ensures an excellent diffusion of essential oils.
